Our actions and main activities
Our Actions
The Day Care centre was inaugurated on the 21st September 2010 on the occasion of the World Alzheimer Day. From then till now the centre is fully in operation. From 2008 the Association was meeting regularly here. The Local was the place where we would meet and give advice as an information centre. We started a register of patients and families with Dementia. We provided advice and counselling on a part time basis and also organized activities for the sensitization for the public on Alzheimer Day.
Our Activities
The Day Care Centre has been set up since 10 years, to provide a free service to persons with Dementia and their families. The Centre is opened 5 days a week from 8.30 to 15.30 on Mondays to Fridays. Patients are welcomed daily by the staff, to participate in different activities, until they are picked in the afternoon by their families. During that time the families have a day off to carry out their normal daily businesses. Also the patients are cognitively stimulated by doing these different activities under the supervision of our dedicated staffs.
